almost all trauma works by blinding you to things outside. you forget about the world outside. you try to solve it from within the frame, but it doesn’t work https://t.co/QQ15qiJiNR

this is maybe too abstract of a connection, but: “isolation is the meta-danger of all dangers” without feedback in the world, things become increaingly unhinged and neurotic https://t.co/ykeFBOYenc

people help you by pointing to the shape of the thing. so you can see it you see the trauma in front of you you see it operating in front of you. suddenly the world gets a lot bigger

that’s the helpful, pleasant kind. sometimes it’s more unpleasant there’s a kind of “FWOOP” head jerk to suddenly being able to see “outside.” zooming out that’s not as helpful, because you can’t perceive the trauma. only oscillate back and forth
